The Amazon Q index allows independent software vendors (ISVs) to access and integrate a company's data into their applications, enhancing end user productivity for customers by providing seamless access to company data sources across the ISV's applications. Amazon Q index allows access to a company's data without having to access, connect, or index every individual data source. This can help to improve user engagement, satisfaction, and retention for the ISV's applications.
Key concepts
- Amazon Q index
-
A comprehensive collection of a company's data that can be queried to build enhanced application experiences. It serves as the foundation for retrieving relevant content across various enterprise data sources.
Organizations that are Amazon Q Business customers and would like to connect their data sources with a supported ISV can add the ISV as a data accessor. For more information, see Data accessors.

- AWS Identity and Access Management IAM Identity CenterManaged Application
-
Amazon Q Business manages end user access to a customer's Amazon Q index using IAWS Identity and Access Management IAM Identity Center.
- Resource-based policy
-
A resource-based policy is an IAM policy that's attached to a resource. Amazon Q Business attaches a resource-based policy to an Amazon Q Business application environment during the data accessor setup. This policy grants the ISV's AWS account the necessary permissions to access content for the customer's end users from the customer's data sources through the
SearchRelevantContentAPI operation. By attaching a resource-based policy to the data accessor's AWS account, it allows access to the Amazon Q index of the application environment. For more information, see Data accessors.
